Hollywood Goes Too Far to Protect Content [view article]
"Once consumer-electronics and IT companies settle on interoperable, domain-based DRMs, maybe things will get better. Maybe."Err... I've been looking at getting a new A/V Receiver with HDMI switching and one of the "features" that I've been warned about is handshaking issues with passing the HDMI thru the units...
Now granted, this isn't exactly as you described above (domain-based, etc) but it is all "standard" (read: not a white box computer, but OEM) equipment (DVD->Receiver->... and they can't even get THAT right!?! The solution is to make the content cheep enough that it's not worth my time and energy to copy it, not to DRM the hell out of it!
Me - “Dude, can I copy that movie?”
Friend – “Uh, you’re too cheep to buy it yourself?”
Me – “Uh, oh, nevermind.”
That’s the solution, I’m pretty convinced nothing else will do.
